Sam & Dave - Soul Men

180-gram reissue of the 1967 album by the popular duo, featuring the anthemic title song and its B-side, the charming "May I Baby."

"Among the first-class album tracks never released as singles were 'Rich Kind of Poverty,' the punchy 'Hold It Baby,' and the gospel-drenched ballads 'Just Keep Holding On' and 'I've Seen What Loneliness Can Do.' As was customary, the team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter wrote the hits, and Hayes' production was so utterly sympathetic in capturing the tough, swaggering singing styles of both Sam Moore and David Prater that he surrounded them with punchy, driving arrangements by the Memphis Horns, Booker T. & the MG's, and the studio aces at Stax. Hayes pushed the level into the red on a number of these tunes, making for dynamite performances from the duo." — AllMusic
